Hi I want to change my five door ikea cupboard into a three door and two door one any tips? Any pointers on where to start would be great!
It basically does already come apart into the headboard, footboard and two side panels quite easily with a few big recessed screws/bolts at the corners. (I know that probably makes no sense) but basically we did not unscrew the things that attach to the top and bottom of them and we did not take out the shelf holder doodads. When doing this there are no pre-existing holes to wheres the cupboard insert would fit in. Then, a "plastic pin" is inserted into the retainer, expanding it (much like a wall anchor).
There’s also the risk of the jutting-out screws getting knocked perpendicularly which could tear the chipboard rendering the entire furniture piece useless. The door on the left, which is at the front, will only come off the rail on the free side (left) it won’t lift off the tracks on the right, it is stuck at the bottom.
There is no groove for a screw-driver and my clawed hammer is trashing the finish. How do I get it out? I am moving the same daybed in a few hours and only plan to take apart the side and back walls, thin front metal bar with slats. Even if you scratch some of the parts you can always pain or get a foil of some sort, but some of the screws they use are not by any means what you would call “universal” and they are hard to find if you lose them.
These can be a bit fiddly but definitely need to be taken out and screwed back together as I think they would be fragile if bent the wrong way. worth of equipment, much less than the 150 lbs.

I’ve put 2 of the plastic round things in the wrong place, I should have used the metal ones and I can’t get them back out!
Do you know how I undo the ‘large round cross screws’ on an ikea bookcase? As of today, when I use the raise function, it only moves about 2-3 inches before pausing. Or do you mean those small flat screws that slot into holes and are twisted once to secure other screws in place? I regularly keep it loaded with about 50 lbs. Or a big plastic bag and string? We just moved a big Malm chest of drawers – took the drawers out and moved it fairly easily but at the last minute I went to lift it by one of the cross bars and it just broke, oops.

If worst comes to worst remember that Ikea helpfully provide spare components at their in-store help desks but this is a hassle you could really do without when moving.
I have the same problem as several other people…I’ve hammered in the plastic screws and need to get them out. It all went well but I will say that now that we have reassembled, they are definitely not quite as tight and sturdy as they were. Ikea furniture is only designed to be structurally strong when fully assembled and so if screws are unfastened while disassembling then some panels might be unsupported and liable to fall over – possibly snapping. Useful tips. I've had my Bekant Sit/Stand desk for about 3 months now, and have really been enjoying it. I am having difficulties finding assistance.

You can do a few quick dabs to cover most scuffs but if you want to do a proper job then read how to paint Ikea furniture in our guide to make sure the paint sticks. I moved my malm bed last year and found it to be one of the easiest pieces of Ikea furniture to disassemble (although definitely requires 2 people). If you liked a piece of furniture so much that you decided to get another one later on in a different colour, then it can be fun to mix and match panels to get a unique technicolor version. It’s a good idea to layer up with newspapers or towels between panels to pad out the pieces and to prevent them from sliding around and scuffing in transit.

There is some truth in this but I’ve found that as long as you’re extra careful when reassembling it doesn’t cause a problem. Anyone have an answer?
